PELHAM, N.H. -

Two men have been arrested after leading police on a high-speed chase from Hudson to Pelham. The chase started after Hudson Police Chief Jason Lavoie says he saw a hit-and-run accident at Greely Street and Route 111. He followed a white Chevrolet Cobalt in his unmarked vehicle. When Lavoie tried to stop the driver of the Cobalt, he says the man drove off.

Two other officers joined the pursuit, at one point clocking the Cobalt's driver at more than 100 miles per hour, according to investigators. The chase ended when a mechanical failure stopped the Cobalt.

Police say the driver tried to run, but officers and a K-9 unit quickly found him. That driver, 28-year-old Jared Plamondon, was arrested after being treated at a hospital for minor injuries. He faces several charges, including an aggravated count of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest. His passenger, 28-year-old Lawrence Nelson, was arrested on outstanding warrants. Both men are scheduled for arraignment on Monday.
